Thank you very much for your help. However, I do not know how to set the windows handler (hWnd) to the notepad. &nbsp;When I run the program with the line above it tries to print, but an error box pops up saying that the notepad handler is invalid. &nbsp;How do I set it?<br />

Forget the previous comment. &nbsp;My problem was related to a printer setup problem with my computer. &nbsp;I have corrected the problem and everything works great. &nbsp;Thank you very much.<br />

I realize this is not the best way to a print a file with a MFC application. &nbsp;However, I already have the text file formatted and would like to simply print that text file.
